"Luhua, what's going on? Oh? It's Jingxuan and Jingmao! "Shen Zhengxin glanced at Shen Jingxuan and pretended to be confused.
"Second Uncle, we want to go in and see Grandpa. We don't agree with the order of the acting family head!" Shen Jingmao shouted.
"Rebellious, you're really rebellious!" Tan Muwei was furious. She slapped the door beside her and shouted, "It's a special time now. It's reasonable that the acting family head doesn't allow us to visit Grandpa. There are so many children in the Shen Family, both from the main family and the branch families. Grandpa won't be able to rest when it's so crowded every day."
"Look, Jingxuan …" Su Luhua shrugged and spread her hands helplessly.
"I want to go in today. Let's see what they can do to me!" Shen Jingmao was anxious and wanted to rush in.
"You!" Although Tan Muwei was an elder, she wasn't a warrior. Shen Jingmao was a Stage Five Inner Force warrior. How could she stop him?
Although Shen Zhengxin was also a warrior, he didn't have any intention of stopping him. Instead, he said, "Sister-in-law, I think Jingmao is right. He and Jingxuan are very close to our Shen Family. It's right to go and see!"
"You … You don't listen to your elder brother?" Tan Muwei said angrily.
"My elder brother is an elder. If he's right, I'll listen. But if he's wrong, I don't dare to agree, right?" Shen Zhengxin smiled. "Grandpa didn't say who is the family head. Elder brother is just older. We younger brothers give in to him, but don't think that he can be a dictator!"
"You …" Tan Muwei's face turned red. She stomped her feet and ran out of the villa angrily.
Shen Zhengxin and Su Luhua looked at each other and smiled. They turned around and followed Shen Jingxuan and the others into the villa. They didn't need to do anything else. They just needed to keep provoking the relationship between others and the first branch.
"Grandpa is here, right?" Shen Jingxuan came to her grandpa's bedroom and pushed the door open. Shen Jingmao and Xiao Chen followed closely behind and entered the room.
The room was very large and spacious. Just like the courtyard downstairs, it was also decorated in an ancient style. The wooden bed, wooden table, wooden chairs, and even the electric lamps were antique, the kind of lantern-shaped lamps painted with ink paintings.
A tall old man with a pale face was lying on the bed. His head was leaning against a pillow. He wasn't unconscious, but his complexion was very poor. When he saw Shen Jingxuan coming in, a glimmer of light flashed through his dull eyes. He said with a trembling voice, "Jingxuan, Jingmao, you're back …"
There were two people standing in the room. One was carefully checking the old man's pulse, and the other was on standby at the side. The one who was checking the old man's pulse should be the Apothecary, and the one on standby was a disciple of the Shen Family.
This person was Shen Jingxuan's grandfather, Shen Shanhe. Although the old man's mental state was not good, his mind was very clear.
"Grandpa, how are you?" Shen Jingxuan looked at the haggard grandfather. Her eyes suddenly became wet and red. She ran over and squatted in front of the bed. She held her grandfather's hand and asked, "Grandpa, how did you become like this? Weren't you fine before? "
"When people get older, their problems come. Maybe one day, there will be a problem! Jingxuan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown up. " After Shen Shanhe finished speaking, he looked at Shen Jingmao, "Jingmao, not bad. I heard that you were very brave at the Songning Summit. You didn't admit defeat in the face of a higher level opponent. Not bad. You are a disciple of the Shen Family. You didn't bring shame to the Shen Family!"
"Grandpa, but I … I still lost." Shen Jingmao was a little embarrassed, "Grandpa, are you okay? How do you feel? "
"I'm fine. Hehe, when people get old, there will be a day like this. Originally, I was going to choose a young master during the new year, but I'm afraid I won't be able to see it …" Shen Shanhe sighed, "What I'm most worried about is the Shen Family. I know the situation of the Shen Family. If I go, the Shen Family will be in chaos!"
"Isn't there your second great grandfather in charge?" Shen Jingxuan was stunned, and then said, "Besides, Grandpa, you will be fine."
"Your second great grandfather came out of seclusion to take a look at me. When he realized that there was no hope, he went back. He doesn't like to bother with the trivial matters of the family, so …" Shen Shanhe said, "And I've also let it go … If your second great grandfather says there's no hope, then there's no hope."
"Grandpa …" In an instant, Shen Jingxuan's tears flowed. She still had deep feelings for her grandfather. Although, perhaps because of some family restrictions, after they grew up, her grandfather rarely asked about them. But in Shen Jingxuan's heart, her grandfather would always be the kind old man who told them stories when they were young.
"Silly child, it's human nature to grow old and die. I've already let it go. Besides, I'm actually not young anymore. It's rare for a person to live to seventy. I'm already ninety this year. Among the warriors, my lifespan is relatively short. But compared to ordinary people, I've lived a long life." Shen Shanhe said.
"Right, White Fox, don't you have medical skills? Let me have a look! " Shen Jingxuan suddenly thought of Xiao Chen. At this time, it was like grasping at a life-saving straw. At that time, Shen Jingmao's serious injury could be cured by Xiao Chen. Then, her grandfather must have a way!
"I …" Xiao Chen hesitated. It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but the current situation of the Shen Family was very complicated. Would these people let him do it easily?
"Young man, are you Jingxuan's friend?" Shen Shanhe raised his head and looked at Xiao Chen at the side. "Why are you still wearing a mask in the house? What does this mean? "
"Grandpa, because of the mental cultivation method he practices, his face can't be seen, so he needs to wear a mask …" Shen Jingxuan had thought of an excuse along the way. Because no one would ask in Songning, but when they came to the Shen Family, there would inevitably be people asking. If there was no reasonable explanation, it would lead to unnecessary speculation.
"So that's how it is …" Shen Shanhe nodded.
However, before Shen Shanhe's voice fell, there was a sharp and mean voice outside the door, "He doesn't have the face to see people. I don't know if it's because he's too ugly, or because he has a case on him. He came to the Shen Family and still wore a mask. Jingxuan, I'm afraid you haven't seen his real face, have you? It's better to have less contact with this kind of person in the future! "
The person who came in was naturally Tan Muwei, who had left in a rage before. She saw that the second family let Xiao Chen and Shen Jingxuan in, and suddenly became a little angry, so she went to find Shen Zhengquan for help.
Sure enough, behind her, Shen Zhengquan came in and angrily walked to Xiao Chen, shouting, "Who are you? How did you come to my father's ward? And wearing a mask? Are you plotting something? "
"I'm Jingxuan's boyfriend, Baihu. Didn't your wife tell you?" Xiao Chen was really a little disgusted by Shen Zhengquan's pretense. On the way here, Tan Muwei would definitely mention him to him, but the moment he came in, he pretended not to know him. Was he acting or was he trying to put on a show?
"Boyfriend? Who identified you as Jingxuan's boyfriend? Don't you know that Jingxuan's marriage is decided by her father? We don't even know you, and yet you shamelessly came to the Shen Family? No wonder you're wearing a mask to hide. Get out! " Shen Zhengquan shouted at Xiao Chen, and he directly vented his anger at the second family on Xiao Chen.
Shen Zhengmao was a little anxious. Before, he didn't think much of Xiao Chen, but after the summit, he quite admired Xiao Chen. At this time, naturally, he had to say, "Uncle, brother Baihu is a doctor that my sister and I invited. He can treat grandpa. Don't be so rude!"
"Doctor? He's a doctor? "Tan Muwei was immediately amused." Jingmao, you're still young. Are you being deceived? Do you believe anyone who says he can treat a disease? Don't you know that even Medicine Master Tan of the Warrior Guild said he couldn't do anything? Do you think a doctor is better than my brother? "
Although Tan Muwei didn't come from a big family, her status in the Shen Family rose because her brother went to the Warrior Guild in Lan City to be a medicine master. Although the Zhen Wu Family wasn't afraid of the local Warrior Guild because they were all managed by the Warrior Guild headquarters, they had to respect the medicine masters in the local Warrior Guild and the Warrior Market. After all, who hadn't gotten sick or injured? Even the herbs used for cultivation had to rely on others to refine, and Tan Muwei's brother, Medicine Master Tan, was the chief medicine master in Lan City's Warrior Market.
"That's not necessarily true." Shen Jingmao's face turned red, and he didn't know how to refute. But Xiao Chen said indifferently. Although he didn't want to cause trouble in the Shen Family, he wasn't afraid of trouble either. He was here to be a guest, not to be bullied. He was here to support Shen Jingxuan, not to be the third grandchild. So Xiao Chen opened his mouth. Although his voice wasn't loud, it was unquestionable. "Whether I know medicine or not, it's not up to me to say it. If I don't try, how will I know?"
"Try? You really dare to say it? " This time, not only was Tan Muwei unhappy, but Shen Zhengquan was also unhappy. "Jingxuan, take your friend out. It's okay to be a guest in the Shen Family, but don't wander around. The Shen Family is in a critical period now. An outsider shouldn't jump around."
"Uncle, White Fox's medical skills are really amazing!" Shen Jingmao was anxious when he heard this. "When I was injured, he was the one who cured me."
"Oh?" Shen Zhengxin, who had been silent, suddenly said, "If that's the case, Big Brother, why don't I ask him to examine Dad's illness first? If the illness isn't right, then let him go. But what if it's right? Why not give it a try? "
"That's right. In this way, the Shen Family won't suffer any loss." Su Luhua also said in agreement.
"No! If there's a problem, will you take responsibility? Dad's body can't stand being tossed around. If there's a problem, it'll be a big problem. "Shen Zhengquan shouted.
